Watch: Chef Gordon Ramsay reveals how he lost 22 kg [video]

It's about eating better and eating less at the same time says famous Chef, Gordon Ramsay.

One of the world’s most recognized chef’s, Gordon Ramsay recently lost a staggering 22 kg’s.

Apparently, the 51-year-old’s wife, Tana, pushed him to lose 50 pounds (22 kg) after she noticed Ramsay getting ‘bigger around his middle’. The couple has been married for 21 years and shares four children together.

In an interview with Today, it’s suggested that Gordon may be the boss of the kitchen, but Tana is definitely the boss of working out:

“I’ve gotten into the habit of eating five times a day, but small amounts as opposed to eating a big breakfast, a light lunch, and a big dinner.”

In the interview, Gordon says he was 30-years-old when his father passed away due to a heart attack at the age of 53.

“I want to set that example. You know, I never got to spend that quality time with my father. That man never ever ate in my restaurant and that pains me today to think that.”

Asked if there’s a problem with how people eat in today’s world (especially America), and with regard to expecting large portions of food, Ramsay says he thinks the problem is the level of expectancy:

“If they toned down the sort of quantity and honed in on the quality, you’ll feel so much better. The big thing that struck when I first came to the U.S. years ago was the amount of food to go [take-aways]. I remember being in a restaurant with a journalist and she took a freaking Ceasar salad to go.

“It’s about eating better and eating less at the same time.”

It’s also reported that the British chef credits cycling and triathlon training with helping him get in shape.
